Gov Okpebholo is right, Peter Obi should inform him before visiting Edo – Wike
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has disclosed that Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State was right to have asked the former Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi for prior notice before visiting the state.
Wike recalled that when he was Governor of Rivers State, he provided Obi with vehicles and logistics during his presidential campaign in the state.
He pointed out that the governor will be held accountable if anything happens to Obi while in the state.
Wike spoke in Benin City, during the launch of modern mass transit buses by the Edo State government.
The Minister dismissed claims that Okpebholo threatened Obi against visiting the state.
He said: “When I was governor of Rivers State, when Peter Obi was coming to my state, he notified me, and I provided vehicles and logistics for him, because at that level, as a presidential candidate, anything that happens to him will be my fault.
“Governor Okpebholo, the statement you made is correct. Obi must inform you before coming to Edo State.”
